POSSIBLE CAUSE OF THE FIRE

WELCOME TO THIS UPLIFTING BLOG

We decided to broadcast this news below with
the belief that it may save other lives. As such, we urge you to read this
news seriously and it is very vitally important to let our loved ones be
aware of this lesson from the unfortunate news below.

The news that a well
known family in Mequon lost their 25 year old son (Arun Gopal Ratnam) in a
fire at their home on June 4th, which I received from an old classmate of
mine.

This is what happened. He graduated with MBA
from University of Wisconsin-Madison two weeks earlier and came home. Had a
lunch with his dad at home and decided to go back to clean up his room at
school. Father told him to wait and see his mother before he goes back for a
few days.

He decided to take a nap while waiting for his
mom to come home from work. Neighbors called 911 when they saw black smoke
coming out of the house. Their 25 year old son Arun died in the three year
old house. It took several days of investigation to find out the cause of the
fire.

It was determined that the fire was caused by
lap top in the bed. When the lap top is on the bed cooling fan does not get
air to cool the computer and that is what caused the fire.

Uneven surface of the bed sheet has blocked the
air intake vent below the CPU fan. When the laptop is placed on a flat
surface i.e. on desk/table, there is a gap between the desk surface and the
base of the casing to allow air to flow/suck in through the air intake vent
by the CPU fan to cool the CPU. This paragraph is added in by sender for
better understanding of the scenario.

He did not even wake up to get out of the bed
and he died of carbon monoxide (CO) as a result of the fire.

The reason we decided
to broadcast to the world is that using our laps top in bed is very common.
Let us all decide and make it a practice not to do that again. Risk is real.
Let us make it a rule not to use lap top in bed or put computers on bed with
blankets and pillows around.

Please share this news with your circle of friends or direct them to read
this article if you find it useful. Thanks for your kind action.

Here, we believe prevention is better than cure. As such, we encourage you
not to cultivate bad habits.
